New template....again
So I made a new template, this time by editing my current one though. I think it looks alright, though a little amateur as this is my first time creating one. I still need to change the blue on the sidebar, but I can't figure out how....I also need a new text color. Any ideas?
And I still have that huge space that the sidebar makes in my posts...anyone know how to fix that?

Copy and paste from the comment I wrote for you at my blog:
"Looks good Will! Hope you just didn't get Rushan to send you the code and you pasted it in there. ;)
If I may point out two things though. First, you gotta figure out why the sidebar's messing up that first post's length. It's much longer than it needs to and if I recall correctly when I was messing with that template there's somethig with the page layout that it really doesn't have a sidebar. Instead the page is sectioned off in a way that makes both columns (the post part and the sidebar part) the same length. I hope you know what I mean by that.
And lastly, maybe it's just cause my eyes are getting old, but I've never been a fan of white text on a black background. It's really contrasty and hurts my poor eyes. :( You should try a light grey or something instead. It'll blend in much nicer.
But seriously, good work. Hope you've learned a trick or two so that you can do it all on your own soon. =D"
Have fun. ;)

He didn't - he sorted out the code himself, all I did was recoloured the graphics in photoshop.
I prefer white on black because of the contrast. It's an old DTP trick to draw the eye to the important part of a document.
